I called on Friday and they scheduled the move for the next day. The crew arrived on time, worked quickly, and were very courteous.
Used them twice in the last three months and received a great price each time. Competent and friendly movers handled heavy items efficiently and carefully.
Negative Manchester Moving and Storage Reviews
After storage and delivery, I found many damaged and missing items. The company was difficult to reach, and promised compensation never arrived after five months.
Workers were a bit rude and argumentative, the final price was higher than estimated, and some items were damaged.
Yelp
They broke my bed frame, entertainment center, one night table, and countless small glass items. I’m still finding broken items as I continue unpacking.
